在雅思口语考试中,大家都不想给考官留下不好的印象。不能说的表达至少我们会考虑是否有其他的替代表达。但是雅思口语考场也有可能出现这种情况。——你以为你会说,其实是错误的“中国式表达”[捂脸] [捂脸]

这就像你听雨果人说不地道的中文一样。在雅思口语考官眼里,如果你使用了“中国式表达”,考官只能选择“真笑”来反映ta的专业性。[香瓜群众] [香瓜群众]

例如,当时学姐第一次考雅思口语的时候,选出了与社交媒体软件相关的话题,当时我几乎不假思索地认为“微信”的英语是“微信”,朋友圈英语可以直接充当“Friendcircle”。[石化] [石化]

说话的时候还是气宇轩昂,自我感觉很好。结果成绩得了5分[黑线]

后来才知道原来“微信”的英语是“wechat”,朋友圈的英语是“Moments”。


其实大家常见的“中式错误”还不止是直译这么简单,下面学姐就为大家盘点一波你以为正确、实际有问题的“中式表达”,下次千万别再让它们出现在雅思口语考场上啦![灵光一闪]




01 She has a beautiful yellow hair.


可能对应的口语考题:

Tell me about one of your friends.


解析:

英语母语者在形容别人拥有一头金黄的头发并不会直接用“yellow”这个词,而是会用“blonde”这个更贴切的形容词。


所以,正确的表达应该是:

She has a beautiful blonde hair.


02 She is fat, but she's really good at dressing, I'd like to learn more from her.


可能对应的口语考题:

Describe a person you only met once and want to know more about.


解析:

英语,特别是正式场合用语,讲究委婉与礼貌,英语中直接说人fat,有吵架或骂人的感觉。所以你就建了人家一次就骂别人是大胖子,还想了解别人多一点,这可能有些前后矛盾。若一定要表达胖,可以换作丰满或其他褒义词。


恰当表达:

She has a plump face. / She is well developed.



03 I usually play with my friend at her house.


可能对应的口语考题:

What do you usually do in your holidays?


解析:

听过我们新东方在线王子毅老师的课程的同学应该不陌生,这个“play”不太推荐成年人使用[闭嘴][闭嘴]

因为它在成年人日常交流中还有其它“内涵”~与此有类似“内涵”的表达还有“relax myself”,这个大家也别轻易踩雷[狗头]

如果你并不是想要表达这个意思,那就应该替换成其它替代表达。


恰当表达:

I usually hang out with my friend.


04 I very like a traditional dish called stinky tofu.


可能对应的口语考题:

Describe an occasion when you ate a kind of food for first time.


解析:

这个错误对大部分同学而言应该是很显眼了——不能直接按照中文表达的语序翻译过来,英文有自己的语序表达“非常喜欢”。大家在平时练习也要多留意英语语法顺序和习惯用法。

恰当表达:

I like a traditional dish called stinky tofu very much.



05 It gives me a good mood.


对应的口语考题

A special day that made you happy.


解析:

当你想表达你做了什么事,给你带来好心情时,如果你说“It gives me a good mood” 你说完心情好了,但是考官心情可能不会好。因为这也是很中式英语的表达[微笑]


恰当表达:

It puts me in a good mood / in a good state of mind.

It soothes my mind.

It makes my day.



06 I thought I couldn't finish it all by myself.


对应的口语考题:

Describe a time when you tried something difficult and had a positive result.


解析:

这句话的语序也一样是直接照搬中文语序,但其实在英文中“我认为我不能”的表达顺序有所不同。大家还是要在平时练习中多开口,同时多注意表达的语序和语法结构等等,以防后面考试时出现类似的错误。


恰当表达:

I didn't think that I could finish it all by myself.


07 I had no experience about how to be a teacher.


对应的口语考题:

Describe a time when you were teaching a friend or a relative to do something.


解析:

这也是一个由于中式直译带来的问题,关于表达“对...了解不多”或者“对...没经验”,比较常见的表达应该如下。


恰当表达:

I didn't know much about being a teacher.



08 The view is so-so from my home.


对应的口语考题:

What scenery can you see from the window of your home?


西方人很少使用so-so,大家表达“一般”还可以用average/fair/all right/not too bad等形容词来形容。


恰当表达:

The view is not too bad from my home.



09 It gives me a good mood.


对应的口语考题:

A special day that made you happy.


解析:

当你想表达你做了什么事,给你带来好心情时,如果你说“It gives me a good mood” 你说完心情好了,但是考官心情可能不会好。因为这也是很中式英语的表达[微笑]


恰当表达:

It puts me in a good mood / in a good state of mind.

It soothes my mind.

It makes my day.



10 It tastes delicious.


对应的口语考题:

A dinner that you really enjoyed.


解析:

用delicious也不是不对,但它在母语者中的使用频率很低。所以也算是一个小小的chinglish~


恰当表达:

It tastes so good/ awesome / amazingly good!



11 I’m so hot.


对应的口语考题:

An occasion when the weather prevented your activity.


解析:

这个也是有一点中式英语的思维,因为“hot”不仅有热的意思,还表示身材火辣~所以如果想表达“我很热”却说成“I'm so hot”,你。。。莫不是在试图勾引考官???



恰当表达:

It’s very hot.

I feel so hot.


12 My family has four people.


对应的口语考题:

Can you tell me something about your family?


解析:

“My family has four people.”是典型的Chinglish。由于汉语和英语的语序不同,说话的重点也不同,英语表达偏向用“it”,“there be”以及名词性主语开头。而中国学生则习惯用“I,we,they,my”等开头的句子,不仅通篇句式单一,也打破了英语表达的语言习惯,让考官浑身难受。


恰当表达:

There are four of us in my family.
